Election post
Hello everyone! I am Aadya Bhagat, a first year Cell Biology student. My involvement with the industry began when I was an awkward middle schooler with acne problems and a desire to learn about the various medicines I could take to alleviate this. My quest to better my understanding of the industry and enhance my skills was supplemented with webinars which I attended to network with industry professionals. This furthered my desire to be directly involved in Biopharma soc. As a first-year member, I have:
-Participated in a R&D internship in Oncology with AstraZeneca and networked with professionals in the GSK insights week programme 2022.
-Connected with representatives from Unilever, Pfizer, J&J and Roche through webinars
As Vice-President, I plan on implementing the following:
1) Incorporate more networking socials with professionals in the industry through the connections I have made in the past year.
2) Promote Biopharma society and allow it to be recognised on a larger level using networking websites like Grad-cracker, Target Jobs and Indeed.
3) Explore sponsorship opportunities, allowing members to have access to CV writing workshops, industry specific internships, and skill development workshops with professionals.
4) Organise monthly socials and newsletters to get to know everyone better and encourage more engagement.
I promise you guys that your vote counts!
